Romanos 10
1 Fratres, voluntas quidem cordis mei, et obsecratio ad Deum, fit pro illis in salutem.
Brethren, the pleasure indeed of my heart, and my supplication that [is] to God for Israel, is — for salvation;
2 Testimonium enim perhibeo illis quod æmulationem Dei habent, sed non secundum scientiam.
for I bear them testimony that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge,
3 Ignorantes enim iustitiam Dei, et suam quærentes statuere, iustitiæ Dei non sunt subiecti.
for not knowing the righteousness of God, and their own righteousness seeking to establish, to the righteousness of God they did not submit.
4 Finis enim legis, Christus, ad iustitiam omni credenti.
For Christ is an end of law for righteousness to every one who is believing,
5 Moyses enim scripsit, quoniam iustitiam, quæ ex lege est, qui fecerit homo, vivet in ea.
for Moses doth describe the righteousness that [is] of the law, that, 'The man who did them shall live in them,'
6 Quæ autem ex fide est iustitia, sic dicit: Ne dixeris in corde tuo: Quis ascendet in cælum? id est, Christum deducere:
and the righteousness of faith doth thus speak: 'Thou mayest not say in thine heart, Who shall go up to the heaven,' that is, Christ to bring down?
or, 'Who shall go down to the abyss,' that is, Christ out of the dead to bring up. (Abyssos g12)
8 Sed quid dicit Scriptura? Prope est verbum in ore tuo, et in corde tuo: hoc est verbum fidei, quod prædicamus.
But what doth it say? 'Nigh thee is the saying — in thy mouth, and in thy heart:' that is, the saying of the faith, that we preach;
9 Quia si confitearis in ore tuo Dominum Iesum, et in corde tuo credideris quod Deus illum suscitavit a mortuis, salvus eris.
that if thou mayest confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and mayest believe in thy heart that God did raise him out of the dead, thou shalt be saved,
10 Corde enim creditur ad iustitiam: ore autem confessio fit ad salutem.
for with the heart doth [one] believe to righteousness, and with the mouth is confession made to salvation;
11 Dicit enim Scriptura: Omnis, qui credit in illum, non confundetur.
for the Writing saith, 'Every one who is believing on him shall not be ashamed,'
12 Non enim est distinctio Iudæi, et Græci: nam idem Dominus omnium, dives in omnes, qui invocant illum.
for there is no difference between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord of all [is] rich to all those calling upon Him,
13 Omnis enim, quicumque invocaverit nomen Domini, salvus erit.
for every one — whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, he shall be saved.'
14 Quomodo ergo invocabunt, in quem non crediderunt? Aut quomodo credent ei, quem non audierunt? Quomodo autem audient sine prædicante?
How then shall they call upon [him] in whom they did not believe? and how shall they believe [on him] of whom they did not hear? and how shall they hear apart from one preaching?
15 Quomodo vero prædicabunt nisi mittantur? sicut scriptum est: Quam speciosi pedes evangelizantium pacem, evangelizantium bona!
and how shall they preach, if they may not be sent? according as it hath been written, 'How beautiful the feet of those proclaiming good tidings of peace, of those proclaiming good tidings of the good things!'
16 Sed non omnes obediunt Evangelio. Isaias enim dicit: Domine quis credidit auditui nostro?
But they were not all obedient to the good tidings, for Isaiah saith, 'Lord, who did give credence to our report?'
17 Ergo fides ex auditu, auditus autem per verbum Christi.
so then the faith [is] by a report, and the report through a saying of God,
18 Sed dico: Numquid non audierunt? Et quidem in omnem terram exivit sonus eorum, et in fines orbis terræ verba eorum.
but I say, Did they not hear? yes, indeed — 'to all the earth their voice went forth, and to the ends of the habitable world their sayings.'
19 Sed dico: Numquid Israel non cognovit? Primus Moyses dicit: Ego ad æmulationem vos adducam in non gentem: in gentem insipientem, in iram vos mittam.
But I say, Did not Israel know? first Moses saith, 'I will provoke you to jealousy by [that which is] not a nation; by an unintelligent nation I will anger you,'
20 Isaias autem audet, et dicit: Inventus sum a non quærentibus me: palam apparui iis, qui me non interrogabant.
and Isaiah is very bold, and saith, 'I was found by those not seeking Me; I became manifest to those not inquiring after Me;'
21 Ad Israel autem dicit: Tota die expandi manus meas ad populum non credentem, et contradicentem mihi.
and unto Israel He saith, 'All the day I did stretch out My hands unto a people unbelieving and gainsaying.'
